How much compression do these socks have?

About medium. Not so much that you get 'sausage legs' above the sock but enough to feel them lifting your feet. Very supportive around the Achilles area. I have fairly fat calves and they don't hurt, my sister is thinner and she loves them. Stops her feet aching when she works 9 hours a day on them.

They are sized correctly. If you are an I'm between size I would go down as you want maximum compression. Hope that helps

No, these are not very thick. They are the most comfortable socks ever but wear out very quickly. I have a 100 UA items and these don't meet their normal wear standards.

I have varicose viens that are med to bad on the top of my right foot..a few spider viens in both legs/feet. I have invested a baby fortune in compression socks & #1 I couldn't see they did any good #2 I'm not sure I'm even stron enough to get them on #3 they always irritate my skin, they sweat, they are impractical for daily wear. The TC stockings are compression BUT you can get them on, they don't cut off circulation @ my knees, they don't sweat, they are comfortable to wear all day and they control the pain & occasional clots in the varicose viens--I LOVE THEM, I don't think of them as stylish but with pants & tennis shoes I guess no one knows or cares. Hope this helps

The sock works well. I have ankle and arch problems and it works for me. The sock is open toed, it does compress the top of the foot, but not as much as the ankle.

Not exactly sure, but if I had to make an educated guess I would say that they are extremely similar to trouser socks, polyester socks with spandex. I have 2 pair of these and 4 pair of Compression Sockss that are made of 82% Polyamide & 18% Elastine. They feel amazing.

There is about 1/4 - 1/2" of compression. I'd suggest you get the 11-18. If you adjust it to 11 1/4" it should be about right.

Yes. In my opinion when I wear the compressions, I feel more secure. I feel my legs are supported as I run. I do not feel overly compressed or too tight. I wear them for every run and love the feel. Definitely recommend.

Yes they are thin, make sure you order a size that provides right amount of compression

The pressure on these stocking is pretty strong. Strong enough that a local home health supplies store won't sell them off the shelf - they require the patient to come in the store and be measured so the right size can determined. I suspect that a size too small could cause blood flow problems. I knew that this size was correct for my husband because he was given the exact same compression socks in the hospital (same brand and size). So they are "hospital grade" strong.

These are thicker than Jobst, but still is a compression sock that really isn't for the purpose of keeping your feet warm.. Why not put heavy sock over?

I own 12 pairs. I stand 5'10" and my calves are more muscular than average. These socks go about 1-2" below my knees. The compression seems just right for me but the top 1" could be better if the pressure was less. These socks fit great, like a second skin! I wear them at work, under my 12" high mining boots. They stay perfectly in place the whole day.

Hi, sorry I dont have the sock on me right now to check the tag. You should ask the seller. I can tell you that they feel like average quality socks. Meaning they are comfortable, but not plush. I hope that helps.

I really don't think this will work. I bought this device for my father, who had a hip replacement surgery recently. He uses some heavy duty socks, which are a little less harder than compression socks. Well, the device worked for that, but honestly I really don't know if this will do the same for compression socks.

no. MY wife uses them as compression socks for calf and ankle swelling. They work fine.

Not a lot of lint as far as I can tell. These socks are very well made and super comfortable

i would have to say yes, they might be as much as 1/8" thick. i have the same issue with my riding boots - they are already kind of snug and the socks make them hard to zip up but they are warm!
